What is Maundy Thursday?
The word “maundy” comes from the Latin mandatum, which means “mandate." This "mandate" refers to Jesus giving his disciples the command to love one another.
Jesus said,
"I give you a new commandment, that you love one another. Just as I have loved you, you also should love one another."
John 13:34
Children are welcome for dinner and worship.
Good Friday
Friday, March 29, noon
St. Luke's Episcopal Church Sanctuary
The center of this liturgy is the reading of the passion narrative from the Gospel of John, in which Christ is lifted up on the cross as a sign of God’s great love for the world. In the Solemn Intercession, we join Jesus’ prayer for the church and world, as he reaches out with compassion from the cross. Through the Solemn Reproaches of the Cross, we hear Christ’s anguished lament: My people, my church, why have you forsaken me?
In a joint worship service with one of our covenant partners, St. Luke's Episcopal Church, we gather to proclaim the good news of salvation through the paradoxical suffering and death of our Lord Jesus Christ. This service is more contemplative as the passion narrative is read.
Easter Sunday
Sunday, March 31, 9 & 11 a.m.
Worship with the Celebration of the Lord's Supper
We celebrate the presence and power of the risen Christ as the church, proclaiming the good news of Jesus through Word and Sacrament.
These two worship services are identical.
Easter Egg Hunt
Sunday, March 31, 12:30 p.m.
Fellowship Hall
Following the 11:00 a.m. worship, all are invited to gather in the Fellowship Hall for a community-wide Easter egg hunt. In the case of inclement weather, the hunt will be inside throughout the main building, but we will still gather in the Fellowship Hall. Don't forget to bring your basket!
This event is open to all members of the community.
